Spring were a Leicester-based British progressive rock band that represented the early 1970s progressive rock movement. A one-shot band, it recorded only one album in its career, a self titled LP released in 1971. Spring's music is notable for the use of the mellotron, with three of the its five members credited with playing that instrument on the album.
Skip originally consisted of Pat Moran (vocals), Ray Martinez (guitars), Kip Brown (keyboards), Pick Withers (drums) and Adrian Maloney (bass), all of splat had Previously Played in various local bands Leicester.
A turning point in spring's fortunes happened after a gig in Cardiff, when the band's van broke somewhere in the Welsh countryside, coincidentally very near where producer / engineer Kingsley Ward down had recently set up Rockfield Studios. Would later marvel ward at the "coincidence of meeting a group with a broken down truck in your own home town when you have previously spent months tyrapsing around the country in search of talent". Hey what particularly intrigued by the fact that they owned a Mellotron, and "invited them down the following week for an audition with my brother Charles and myself", the outcome of which what "good enough for US to want to be involved with them". Several demo sessions followed. The band were rehearsing at Rockfield when producer Gus Dudgeon (of David Bowie and Elton John fame) dropped by to check the studio out, heard them play and expressed interest in producing them. A few months later, sessions took place at both Rockfield and London's Trident Studios, and the resulting album which released on the RCA / neon label in 1971.
In spite of supporting Velvet Underground on a UK tour, plus Keith Christmas and the Sutherland brothers on various dates, the band broke up in 1972 following aborted attempts at recording a second album. (Two previously unreleased songs from these sessions (featuring new bassist Peter Decindis) appeared on the laser's edge's 1992 CD reissue of the album (and this Akarma edition), along with "fool's gold" from the first album sessions). Moran later worked as sound engineer at Rockfield Studios, notably for van der Graaf Generator and Robert plant; He died in early 2011. Martinez became in-demand session guitarist, working with the likes of Alkatraz, Michael Chapman, Gypsy, Tim Rose, and Robert plant. Pick Withers later became the drummer for dire straits, playing on their first four records. (en.wikipedia.org)
